Bio

Extensively trained with a strong background in chemistry and biology, I am a  medical esthetician, with over five  years in the cosmetic, health and beauty industry. My expertise with medical instruments include but not limited to microdermabrasion, silk peel, hydra facial, iontosonic, ultrasound, laser, corneometer, vapometer, IPL, etc. I have over ten certificates of excellent performance including chemical peels of physician strength, rare skin conditions and disorders, ingredients and knowledge within the medical aesthetic field.

In addition, I offer ten years of experience in management, retail sales in a small business and corporate setting, as well as basic office skills, and inventory control. In addition to my extensive aesthetic training and product knowledge I excel in communication with face to face interaction as well as written skills.My professional qualities also include efficiency, reliability, and adhere to general procedures and policies of company standards as well as the availability the position requires.

Lastly, I have been writing a book about skincare for teenagers, and experimenting with skincare formulations called The Skin Encyclopedia, Health Beauty & Your Skin. I excel with case conditions involving sun damage, melasma, teen acne, and hormonal acne, mature skin, post and pre operative/surgical conditions, as well as nutritional supplements and much more. I belong to several skincare associations, and I am a featured professional on Dr.Oz’s ShareCare website answering Health and Beauty questions. 

I love being an esthetician because it's a hands-on, helping profession. Making my clients feel great and look fantastic is the most rewarding part of my career!

    How should men with facial hair apply skin toner?
    Apply toner in sweeping motions with a cotton pad in the direction of hair growth. By doing this, you will lessen the chances of having breakouts or developing redness due to the irritation.  Full Post

    Are laser treatments for acne safe for darker skin?

    Tricky question and you can get a variety of answers....I say NO.

    Does the sun help acne?
    NOPE! Sun doesn't help, but it does help produce Vitamin D3 which is an antioxidant that helps keep our body and skin healthy by preventing free radicals from destroying our cells. Wear SPF or a hat; actually do both.  Full Post
